Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Brown adipose tissue in cafeteria-fed hamsters
, 1985 Hamsters consuming a “cafeteria diet” had more brown adipose tissue than did chow-fed hamsters. The growth of the brown fat depots in cafeteria-fed hamsters was accompanied by increases in tissue protein and cytochrome oxidase. To assess the thermogenic

Quantitative evaluation of gap junctions during development of the brown adipose tissue.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1980 Gap junctions of rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) were studied with the freeze-fracture technique during development. The frequency and the mean area of gap junctions increased after birth, reached a maximal development during the functional phase of the ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

The role of endoplasmic reticulum in human adipose tissue [PDF]
Adipose tissue plays a central role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis. In obesity adipocytes are challenged by many insults: surplus energy, inflammation, insulin resistance and considerable endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Physiology and Cardioprotection of the Epicardial Adipose Tissue
, 2020 Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a peculiar visceral fat depot with both protective and detrimental properties. The physiological role of EAT within the heart is complex and not completely understood.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...

Cold-activated brown adipose tissue in healthy men [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Studies in animals indicate that brown adipose tissue is important in the regulation of body weight, and it is possible that individual variation in adaptive thermogenesis can be attributed to variations in the amount or activity of brown ...

The dorsal aortic compartment is a developmental source of brown adipose tissue in mice
Nature CommunicationsWhite adipose tissue primarily stores energy while brown adipose tissue dissipates energy as heat, holding promise for therapeutic use. Brown adipose tissue in the anterior trunk is believed to derive from the somitic mesoderm, although some depots are ...
